No matter what you’re raising a glass to, here are seven reasons why the BC Ale Trail is where it’s at for girls\u2019 night out!<\/p>\n

Who doesn’t love girls\u2019 night out with good friends? We all have busy lives, so it’s nice to doll up a bit (or keep it comfy and casual – you do you!) and get together with your besties for an evening of laughs, good food, and of course, your favourite beverages of choice. For the ladies of the BC Ale Trail and many of our friends, that means hitting up a brewery or two, and here’s why:<\/p>\n

1. Perfect for any occasion – or just because!<\/h3>\n

Spring and summer are what many people call ‘celebrate everything’ seasons. It starts with Easter, Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day; and there might well be at least one summer bridal shower or bachelorette party in your calendar. Why not raise a glass to (insert your occasion!) on the BC Ale Trail? Whether you’re toasting a promotion, a birthday milestone, or simply celebrating the joy of springtime blossoms and longer days, BC’s craft breweries offer the perfect backdrop for meaningful connections with your closest friends. The laid-back atmosphere and artisanal offerings create an experience that elevates any gathering from ordinary to memorable.<\/p>\n

Celebrate responsibly:<\/strong> Don’t drink and drive! Book a taxi or an Uber, take transit, or splurge for a limo! If one of you is the designated driver, be sure to let your server or the bartender know. With diverse selections of non-alcoholic options available, the evening’s DD won’t be missing out!<\/p>\n

2. Feel safe and at ease<\/h3>\n

Aside from having fun on girls\u2019 night, the most important thing is for you to feel safe. The craft beer community is just that, a community; and the breweries and venues along the BC Ale Trail take pride in serving quality craft beer with friendly service in a safe environment for everyone. Plan that classy pub crawl knowing you and your squad will feel safe and at ease. With programs like the RCMP’s Safe Place (look for signage at your next brewery visit) and an increasing number of breweries publishing a code of conduct, safety and inclusivity are at the forefront.<\/p>\n

Pro Tip<\/strong>: <\/strong><\/em>Did you know you can search for these features on the BC Ale Trail website? From the Breweries<\/a> page, choose ‘Filter by Features’, and look for code of conduct or safe place signage under ‘Accessibility & Inclusion’.<\/p>\n
